Pure love is touching enough, pure love has made you get rid of vulgar and lengthy daily life from time to time, pure love will make you live in your heart forever with the light in your eyes and the life is not old.
Cover of the Chinese edition of Rear Wing Abandonment
Beth learned of her mother's death, and a woman with a writing board came to tell her. The next day, her photograph appeared in the Herald Herald. The photo was taken on the porch in front of a gray house on Maplewood Street, showing Beth wearing a long, simple cotton dress. At the beginning of "Rear Wing Deserter", it is written that this eight-year-old girl named Beth Harmon began her life. Fate really did not treat this child who was alone in the world since then.
The orphanage was her only possible place to go.
I believe that from the end of 2020 to the present, friends who have paid attention to or loved to watch American dramas at any time have recognized the girl that the editor is talking about and know the girl's life. She eventually grew into a chess grandmaster, an absolute heroine, just like Gu Ailing, who became famous at the Winter Olympics. Today, the original novel of this Netflix Drama has been translated, the translator is a young translator and writer, so the technical consultant is Hou Yifan, a chess grandmaster, a senior coach of the FIDE, and now the number one chess player in the women's world. Today's new book debut, Xiaobian wants to share with you, is: why such a low-open life is high,Or not, whether ordinary people like my life also have the possibility of going high,And what is a high-walking life, how about not going high.'"
Stills of the Netflix mini-series "Rear Wing Abandoned Soldier", the highest score of the Douban movie in the United Kingdom and the United States, nearly 360,000 people rated 9.0 points.
If you distill a few key words in Beth's life, focus and love are undoubtedly the two most important.
In the orphanage, adults distribute sedative pills in an attempt to stifle the child's liveliness and uniqueness with dullness and order. Boring classes, unpalatable meals, terrible accommodation, everything was unbearable. It wasn't until she met a handyman playing chess in the basement, first wanting to learn and being rejected, "because girls don't play chess", then watching and learning by herself, and then going to the teacher to get started, that the world outside of chess changed as if it had disappeared or assimilated. In the night when she couldn't sleep, the dark ceiling transformed into a chessboard on which she played chess. The annoying classmates in the boring course are pieces that she can move at will, and she thinks hard about tactics. All kinds of opening names, the names of each chess grid, she absorbed them like sponges. "Modern Chess Opening" is the first chess book she has, and she can practice the chess game in the book at any time in her mind, and the progress is rapid. On every day of sneaking a game of chess, she was never distracted. In the initial master, to the master's friend, to the master's friend's high school male students, to the state champion, to the national champion, to the foreign master's all the way to upgrade the monster, chess Beth discovered her pure love for chess, in the four eyes of the opponent, trying to abandon distractions, remember: I am not competing with anyone, I am playing chess.
Technical consultant Hou Yifan, chess grandmaster, senior coach of FIDE, is now ranked no. 1 in the women's world. The youngest world women's chess championship chess queen in history, the youngest quadruple chess queen. The only female player among the top 100 chess players in the world. The youngest full professor at Shenzhen University.
In fact, Beth is not smooth sailing, and there is no shortage of stumbling blocks on her way forward. The director of the orphanage would not let her play chess, the widowed adoptive mother had no money to play chess, she was seen as an outlier in the world of chess dominated by men, and even self-doubting herself from time to time did not believe that she was really gifted to play chess well. But Beth's life shows us that when you really desire something, people all over the world will come to help you. Your friends, your opponents, and even the great uncles and aunts in the park are all gathered around you, giving you strength and becoming your think tank.
Speaking of think tanks, I would like to talk about the two supporting characters in the book: Harry Bertik and Benny Watts. Before playing Beth, they were the indomitable state champions and the National Champion, respectively; after playing against Beth, they both fell off the altar. But they never gave up on learning, and Harry volunteered to provide a multi-day "training camp" when he learned that the talented Beth had been devastated by losing to a more powerful chess player. Benny heard that Beth was going to fight against the bulls of chess, to contribute, to teach what she had learned all her life. In a sense, they all became "Zhongyong" characters, and Harry even decided to change careers. But they seem to be saying that people with ideals are sad, but they have also vividly felt the world.
Walter Tevez, author of "Rear Wing Abandonment," began learning chess at the age of eight like Beth, spent two years in a children's rehabilitation center, was given sedative pills, had forty or fifty chess books, participated in nearly 20 chess tournaments, and was a C player with a grade of 1423. He admits that Rear Wing Outcasts is highly autobiographical.
Translator then, writer, translator. He is the author of "No One To Find This Person", "Good Time for You and Me", "Lonely Reading in Panic City", etc., and has translated "Cloud Tour", "Testimony", "Between Time", "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" and so on.
